for anyone of us familiar with this religion.....we were taught no one knows the day or the hour.
now should that be a 7000 year day, 1000 year day or 24 hour day, and any predictions concerning this or assuming knowledge of any sort would be exposing them selves as false prophets.. the wbts likely to whip up a frenzy of one sort or another due to clever rhetoric is typical, but all of us "out" know better.
it usually happens in the fall, ......just like this year.. no one here needs to hold their breath.

i could not have a big new kids on the block pin, or wear any new kids on the block pins in puplic becuase it was considered idolatry.
i also could not wear my shoes without laces (it was cool back then) because it looked wordly.
what other strange theings besides the usual holiday/birthday stuff weren't you allowed to do?
As a young girl I couldn't wear pants with zippers in the front. I wore a lot of those ugly stretchy pants and got laughed a lot. Well, the reasoning was that you wouldn't want to look like a boy.
the society's new tract should be sent to all gay and lesbian groups, warning them about a door to door message that denigrates them.. i would especially target local groups in convention cities in which large gay communities exist.
the tract deserves one simple reply:.
"doesn't false prophecy identify false religion?".
By the way Met,
I will certainly send this tract to all the local gay chapters in my area.

I have a better idea. What about sending the tract to all the local churches in your area with a letter attached explaining what religious supremesist (spel?) jw really are.
I think this campaign is really going to back fire on them. For so many years JW have been encouraged to be tactful at the doors. They even hide what they are by saying that they are doing a "christian community work".
Now all of sudden again they start preaching fire and brimstone. In a world where tolerance is a household word, here come Jws and their extremist views.
I don't know what they are thinking up there in Brooklyn. Someone has gone mad

i bet some still carry them.
you all know what i'm talking about; there were at least 3 brothers in the congregation that had one.
thank god my father wasn't one of them.
those cases are still around. I see a few of the elders carry them around.
so at long last i've converted my childhood friend from being an apologist to being a near apostate.
lemme tell you how that happened.
this guy and i debate almost daily the virtues of being one of "jehovah's people.
Hello Searching4truth,
Though you were new from another thread.
Please do tell us your "once upon a time"stories from bethel.
We are all ears.
this is a must-read that, hopefully, will stay an "active topic" for all seekers and lurkers, by bumping it to the top as often as possible.
alan wrote it in randys {dogpatch} thread regarding knocking.org documentary and in reply to the email mr. engardio sent to barbara anderson.
however, it is so vital a read that it indeed needs its own thread:.
Glad this was bumped up to the top. It is an awsome read.
love you Alanxxxxxxxx
wanna

Do you still put donations in the contribution box?
No.
I haven't put a penny in since 2002. And they will never see a penny from me ever again.
